"LESSONS OF WAR AND HOLOCAUST – LESSONS OF TOLERANCE"
History of the Holocaust ("Catastrophe", "Shoah"), which became one of the greatest tragedies in human history, is part of the history of Europe and Ukraine. "The Shoah fundamentally challenged the foundations of civilization. The unprecedented character of the Holocaust will always hold universal meaning" - states the Stockholm Declaration of 2000. During the Stockholm Forum it was decided to recommend the Holocaust Studies to the countries of the Council of Europe and Ukraine became the first country in the former Soviet Union that integrated the Holocaust history course to school history education. Since 2011 Ukraine marks International Holocaust Remembrance Day at the state level.
Holocaust history learning makes it possible not only to remember the tragedy of war and the suffering of the peoples of Europe, but heroism in resistance, examples of mutual aid between peoples, spiritual heroism for rescuing human lives. The Holocaust history should be learned in the context of world history and the history of Ukraine, so the topics for this Contest include the history of the Ukrainians and Jews, the tragedy of the Holodomor, the Nazi genocide against Roma, etc.
Ukraine suffered the greatest losses during World War II. That is why we appeal to citizens, public organizations and state bodies of Ukraine and other countries to join 12 International Creative Works Contest for Pupils, Students and Teachers "Lessons of War and Holocaust - Lessons of Tolerance". This competition on the base of understanding the lessons of history should promote ideas of humanism and tolerance, rejection of chauvinistic and xenophobic ideologies, violence and totalitarian ideology.

The long existence of the event is an indicator of its success - interest in the competition grows every year. Despite the full-scale war unleashed by Russia against Ukraine and the challenges faced by every Ukrainian, this year we received more than 150 applications for participation in the competition, of which 64 made it to the Finals.
"There are few educational, creative Contests that have been held for decades. Unfortunately, it happens when we consider the wars and genocides of the past through the prism of the tragedy of the present, said Dr. Igor Shchupak during the opening of the Final of the COntest. - Therefore, it was with special feelings that he participated in the opening of our jubilee, 20th competition of creative works. It is incredible how talented Ukrainian youth are, and how acutely they perceive the tragedy of the Holodomor, the Holocaust, the genocide of the Roma, the deportation of the Crimean people - and the modern genocide of the Ukrainian people, organized and carried out by the authorities and the army of the Russian Federation."
Contest participants presented a variety of creative works: historical research, artistic and musical expositions, amateur films, methodological developments. Selected works will be presented in publications of "Tkuma" Institute.
Congratulations to the winners!
